About this quote

This famous Latin phrase reflects the constant cycle of transformation in the universe. It suggests that while form and appearance are always shifting, the fundamental essence of things is never truly destroyed. It offers comfort during periods of loss or transition, reminding us that change is a natural, necessary part of existence rather than a permanent ending.

Written by the Roman poet Ovid in his narrative poem Metamorphoses, published around 8 AD. He attributes the philosophical sentiment to Pythagoras, exploring the theme of perpetual change throughout mythical history.
